Status of the ATF Damping Ring BPM Upgrade Project

  • 1. Fermi National Accelerator Lab., Batavia, IL (United States)
  • 2. Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, Menlo Park, CA (United States)
  • 3. KEK, Tsukuba (Japan)

Description

A substantial upgrade of the beam position monitors (BPM) at the ATF (Accelerator Test Facility) damping ring is currently in progress. Implementing digital read-out signal processing techniques in line with an optimized, low-noise analog downconverter, a resolution well below 1 mum could be demonstrated at 20 (of 96) upgraded BPM stations. The narrowband, high resolution BPM mode permits investigation of all types of non-linearities, imperfections and other obstacles in the machine which may limit the very low target aimed vertical beam emittance of < 2 pm. The technical status of the project, first beam measurements and an outlook to it's finalization are presented.
